The Big Guy

Sam wasn't scared in the least to sit by Santa this year and though he was shy to talk to him, he did manage to ask Santa to make him an imperial walker for Christmas.

Julia was willing to sit in the front of the sleigh with Elsa and had me ask Santa to bring her a puppy guitar. She also wanted me to ask Santa to make a blanket for Elsa. Thanks to a great garage sale find we will be able to fulfill all three wishes this year! Usually Santa brings one small toy or two for their stocking and the bigger gift comes from mom and dad. This year we're trying something new and letting the Big Guy get all the credit. I can't wait to see their faces on Christmas Day!

When I put Elsa on Santa's lap I told him it would be better if she didn't know who was holding her. I snapped this photo the moment she turned to see who exactly I'd handed her to. I love it!




I also loved this rustic wagon that was outside by the donkeys and reindeer! All my garage sales and thrift store shopping paid off this year! I paid less than $8 for each dress and coat that the kids are wearing, but my favorite part is that their outfits match. I might need a matching holiday outfit intervention.

What about you? Do you dress your kids in matching/coordinating outfits for holidays? Know of any good coupons to save on dress clothes?

    You bet I do! The boys are wearing matching shirts and ties from Sears. Emma's dress doesn't match their shirts, but I got it at a garage sale for $4, I won't complain. :-)

    My kids are 10, 12, 13 and 14 now so they won't let me make them matchy, matchy anymore. But I SURE did!! They DO still like to coordinate and I am so blessed by that! The three oldest kids are girls and they even help me find coordinating outfits bless their hearts!! I LOVE you kids outfits!! The dresses are beautiful. I love the color!!1

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean...

Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...
